FAQ
Questions families ask
Is this a real assessment or just a quiz?+
It's a structured, weighted assessment based on common aging-in-place risk factors — not a casual quiz, but also not a substitute for a professional in-person inspection if the score points to serious concerns.
Do I need the other person's permission or involvement?+
It helps to know the home well, but you can complete it yourself based on what you observe or know, go through it together, or take it about your own home if that's what brought you here.
What's the difference between the free result and the $9.99 guide?+
The free result includes your overall score and top 3 priorities. The Complete Guide adds a full breakdown of all 10 categories, every flagged concern explained, a printable checklist, and an expanded 30-day plan.
What's the AI Photo Analysis add-on?+
After you buy the Complete Guide, you can optionally upload real photos of your home for $29.99. AI reviews each photo for specific, visible hazards and emails you personalized suggestions alongside your own photos — nothing is stored on our servers after that email is sent.
Is this medical advice?+
No. Hearthwise is educational home safety information, not medical advice, diagnosis, or monitoring. If something looks like it needs medical attention, talk to a healthcare provider.
Do you sell my information?+
No. Your email is used to send your results and occasional home safety guidance — nothing else.
Can I retake the test?+
Yes, any time — for example after making some of the recommended changes, to see how the score improves.
